STEP 9: Launch

For first flights, your Vector Kite™ works best with a hand launch.

1. 

Hold the Vector Kite™ wings level in one hand while holding the transmitter in the other hand.

2. 

Move the throttle stick forward about ½ to ¾ speed and throw the Vector Kite™ forward and 

3. 

slightly up.
Immediately get both hands on the transmitter.  The throttle stick should be positioned so the 

4. 

Vector Kite™ climbs steadily in the air.
Do not attempt to control the Vector Kite™ up or down or left or right (right stick on controls) 

5. 

until the Vector Kite™ is at least 60 feet high in the air.

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR LAUNCH:

As discussed earlier, you should have your first flights with no wind.  However if there is a slight 

1. 

wind, 

ALWAYS LAUNCH INTO THE WIND.

WHEN LAUNCHING, MAKE SURE THE SPINNING PROPELLER IS COMPLETELY AWAY FROM YOUR HAIR, 

2. 

HEAD, HANDS OR ANY PART OF YOUR BODY.  INJURY IS VERY POSSIBLE WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST 
PROPELLER CONTACT.

Wind Direction

STEP 8: Range Test

A range test requires two people.  One person is needed to operate the transmitter and the other is to 
check and hold the Vector Kite™.

Hold the transmitter and have the other person walk about 100 steps away from the transmitter 

1. 

while holding the Vector Kite™.  Make sure the person holding the kite has a firm grip on the 
kite and does not come in contact with the propeller.
Turn the transmitter on.

2. 

Have the person plug in the battery to the Vector Kite™.

3. 

Pull the throttle (left stick) all the way to the backward position.  This will arm the throttle.

4. 

Move the steering controls (right stick) and have the other person observe the Vector Kite™.  

5. 

Make sure the controls operate smoothly.  Use the directions in the “CONTROL TEST” section 
above to test the Vector Power Unit™.  Make sure the gimbal moves from side to side per the 
diagrams.
Signal to the other person you want to test the throttle.  

6. 

SLIGHTLY

 move the throttle stick 

forward and determine if the throttle is working properly.
If all works well, have the person bring the Vector Kite™ back to you to prepare for launch.

7. 

If controls do not work after the range test, check all connections and batteries.  Make sure you 

8. 

are using a fully charged battery for the Vector Kite™ and that you have fresh batteries in the 
transmitter.  Make sure the polarities of all the batteries in the transmitter are correct per the 
instructions inside the battery hatch. 

IF MODEL STILL DOES NOT RANGE TEST CORRECTLY, DO NOT FLY YOUR VECTOR KITE.  PLEASE CALL

CAUTION:
